An elaborately carved doorway greets visitors to Saint Trophime, located in the Place de la Republic. The church construction began around 1100, and the carved doorway was added around 1190. Saint Trophime was perhaps the first bishop of Arles, in the late-2nd and early-3rd century.
From above Saint Trophime, its bell tower is visible with some ruins of the Roman amphitheater in the foreground.
This steeple of the College Saint-Charles (a private middle school) was visible from the Roman arena.
Enjoy Sunday and the holiday weekend.
